Water Heater Types
Currently there are two types of water heaters available. Tankless water heaters and tank water heaters. Tank water heaters are most common however tankless water heaters are becoming more popular for there efficiency. Tank water heaters work by filling with water and then the water is heated from within the tank. As the preheated water is used from the tank, unheated water fills the tank to be heated an stored for future use.
One limitation of the tank water heater is that you are limited in hot water capacity by the size of the tank. If you own a 50 gallon water heater and 50 gallons of hot water is used in a short period of time then you will be out of hot water until the replacement water is heated again.
Tank water heaters are a long proven system of producing hot water but they do have their limitations. Their limited hot water capacity and a finite lifespan as well as being not quite as energy efficient as a tankless system since the water in the tank is constantly being heated until it is used. Generally, tank water heaters have a working lifespan of about 10 years. Some things that will affect the life of your tank water heater are the mineral content of your water and also how often the water heater is maintained as recommended by the manufacturer.
The 2nd type of water heater is a tankless system or on demand hot water heater. These work by instantly heating your water as needed. Tankless water heaters are very energy efficient, take less space then a tank heater and can provide endless hot water.
Some disadvantages of a tankless system are, they can have a difficult time providing enough hot water when there is a large demand of hot water put on the system. They also have a difficult time providing consistent lukewarm water when needed. And they are also higher in price than a tank hot water heater.
